***********todays HANKS SPECIAL DAY************

[clifford_thornton]

My Hank tastes were stoked by A Caddy For Daddy today, and I set aside a copy of Reach Out! at the record store. Had to put a bunch on hold today - lots of good used BNs and Time jazz dates!

[kenny weir]

Ahhhh - Hank Mobley, my second favourite clarinet player after Kenny Burrell!

[Jim Alfredson]

does anyone know where hank is buried. is it in philly? i want to visit hank and play the saxophone on his grave

OMG THAT WOULD BE SO KICKASS! ESPECIALLY IF YOU WOKE UP A ZOMBIE HANK MOBLEY AND HE CAME BURSTING UP OUT OF HIS GRAVE AND ATE YOUR BRAIN. HE MIGHT NEED SOMETHING ELSE TO EAT AFTER THAT, THOUGH...

[chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez]

u got it all backwards Jimmy-Jimmy-Cocca-Puff- the point is not to ressurect Mobley or exhume him like those drunk rednecks did with Ronnie Van Zant last year. But u wouldnt have every mobley album so you wouldn't know what 2 think- tee hee.

Chuck,

I've always wondered about Hank's stay in Chicago. The liner notes to one of the Blue Notes even mention some compositions that Muhal's group would have played. I've never found any copyrights after The Flip, however.

Do you remember what type of repertoire they played on those gigs? Standards or Mobley originals?

Thanks,

Bertrand.

what you mean hank never copywrighted any of the THINKING OF HOME lp from 1970? why didnt he do that.

and yes that is true hank wrote ensemble compositions for M.R.A. his orch., what was it called again the S.Q.P.F.T, or the something AECM? AACM? THE AACM?? yea yea yea anyways i'll take another listen tonite but i remember it is nothing like Slice of the Top- its like immagine if Hank co wrote Slice w/ like slice piano player mccoy tyner or something

This thread is scaring me and making me laugh at the same time

[andybleaden]

I would rather think about his music

My favourite piece of his right now would have to be A Slice of the Top

Gets my foot tappin everytime

[JSngry]

I'm thinking that McCoy could get a whole new audience by changing his name to Slice Tyner.

[BruceH]

I actually didn't know it was Hank's birthday but just happened to play Dippin'. Nice.

[Man with the Golden Arm]

MOMS THE WORD! .... OH WAIT ... THAT"S MABLEY

but just think, "All The Things You Could Be By Now If ..."

[Man with the Golden Arm]

chewy ... as I sit here listening to NoRoomForSquares, can you please tell me if Hank based the intro and outro riff on "Old World, New Imports" on the theme from The Flintstones? or was it the other way 'round?

I suggest you PM John Litweiler. He did a piece on Hank for DB at the time and knows better than I.

[Shawn]

hank is killin me right now! im listening to the complete 50s sessions in reverse order.

Are you playing the discs backwards? Are you playing them forward but have your back to the stereo? Did you insert them upside down into the player? Do you realize that EMIT 'NIKCEP is Peckin' Time backwards?

Open the pod bay doors Hal.....

[JSngry]

I just played Dippin' backwards and kept hearing this weird voice saying "I buried Hank".

Is it possible that Hank is dead? Are there clues on any of the other albums?

Hmmm.....

[chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez]

hi everybody! chewy-chew chew present::: is john l. still on the board- i sugest u dont pm him and he come forward and talk to us about hank! jolly good affair, jolly good affair

[Parkertown]

i want to visit hank and play the saxophone on his grave

Awww, Hank would really like that.

[chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez]

were also gonna leave a giant philly cheesteak

[kh1958]

I listened to Hank this morning--on Art Blakey's Meet You at the Jazz Corner of the World vol. 1, Liberty era (blue label) LP (but with RVG in wax)--it sounded mighty good, Hank included, though I was more enthralled by Lee Morgan on this one.
